This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. A consortium of geographically-dispersed clinical research sites has been established by investigators at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, for the purpose of studying rare diseases of the airways, which involve impairment of mucociliary clearance from the airways. In addition to UNC, Chapel Hill, other sites are Washington University, St Louis; University of Colorado, Denver; and University of Washington, Seattle. Investigators at these sites will collaborate in diagnostic, genetic, and other studies in a focused group of patients, including those with the possible diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), variant cystic fibrosis (CF), and pseudo- hypoaldosteronism (PHA), reflecting genetic defects in airway host-defense, and typically result in chronic infection of the airways. Patients with these disorders of the conducting airways and sinuses often have delayed or misdiagnoses because of lack of reliable diagnostic tests. Sub-optimal management of their clinical disease is also an issue because the cause of these disorders is not well-defined, and treatment regimens are typically not driven by evidence-based medicine.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的研究人员建立了一个由地理上分散的临床研究中心组成的联盟，旨在研究罕见的气道疾病，这些疾病涉及气道粘液纤毛清除障碍。除了北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校之外，其他地点还有华盛顿大学圣路易斯分校；科罗拉多大学丹佛分校；和西雅图华盛顿大学。这些地点的研究人员将在一组重点患者中合作进行诊断、遗传学和其他研究，包括可能诊断为原发性纤毛运动障碍（PCD）、变异性囊性纤维化（CF）和假性醛固酮增多症（PHA）的患者，反映了气道宿主防御的遗传缺陷，通常会导致气道的慢性感染。由于缺乏可靠的诊断测试，患有这些气道和鼻窦疾病的患者常常会被延误或误诊。临床疾病的次优管理也是一个问题，因为这些疾病的原因尚不清楚，而且治疗方案通常不是由循证医学驱动的。
